Later in the term we will be choosing a structure to research and find information about. You could pick a bridge, boat, plane, skyscraper, roller coaster, land marks eg: sky tower, eiffel tower, golden gate bridge, empire state building etc. You can buddy up with someone to help you research. Look up information about:
- purpose for building it
- how was is it built?
- how was is it designed?
- how long did it take to build?
- what materials were used?
Using this information we will write an information report about your chosen structure after we have learnt how to write information reports.

What are forces?
Forces experiments - in groups we will chose an experiment to do about forces.
Here is the rubric we are working towards:
What are the processes for building structures?
